The later lights I received, which was along time ago, where of very poor quality which was also reported by others as well. I cant verify the quality now but would say buyer beware.
I’ve had good results from Gearbest. Takes a while, but it got there.
Just file a Paypal dispute, man. Insurance or no, Paypal will give you your money back. You have 6 months to file now.

Hello Challun, welcome of BLF.
I very much doubt if the code you were referring to still works.
Most codes have a limited time frame, and you are responding to a thread that was created in 2014.
It is even more unlikely if that code has anything to do with Gearbest.
a/ Today the attention of Gearbest is less focussed on budget lights with great modding potential.
b/ Today they offer less lights, brands unknown to me, with uncertain quality.
c/ They (because of COVID-19?) no longer have a rather special connection with the BLF community.
If I were in your position I would check out if:
1/ Gearbest is this selling this light.
2/ Any of the (very few) BLF-members that are still affiliated with Gearbest can offer you a code for it.
Seems he might have been a scammer. His link has nothing to do with flashlights, etc…
